Dr. Margarete Haase will chair the audit committee of the Supervisory Board and will have a key role in monitoring the effectiveness of Marquard & Bahls Group's financial reporting, systems of internal control and integrity of the audit processes.

Dr. Daniel Weisser, Chairman of the Supervisory Board says: "My deepest thanks go to Wim Lokhorst for his outstanding work in the Supervisory Board and his great passion for the company. It's sad to see him go but I fully respect his decision to step down. At the same time, I am very happy to welcome Dr. Margarete Haase to the Supervisory Board. With her outstanding expertise and deep financial and controlling knowledge, a strong commercial understanding and Supervisory Board expertise, she is exceptionally suited to chair the audit committee."

Dr. Margarete Haase looks back at a very successful international career for more than 30 years. She previously worked for Daimler in various top management positions and as Board member for Daimler Financial Services. Following that position, she was the Chief Financial Officer for Deutz, one of the world's leading manufacturers of innovative drive systems.
